4k Haste 
according to bloodmallet
I'm giga behind on stats 
yeah something along those lines
"only 15% versa, damn no wonder you died so much you gotta get more versa, i have 20% and i never die and when i look at the top warriors on raider io they all stack 40% versa" - old gm
hes not very smart is he
Great now we're gonna have people in here going man I only have 5% mastery and I'm dying in 20s
TBF, he's 2200 IO now
skill issue π
2.2k is like all 15s done
but he does premades with tank/healer/dps calls it "pugging"
not exactly high
its better than my score anyways
hmm idk if ill even use Big Toe, since 2min with our 1.5min CDs is kinda weird π€£
so maybe Ruby + Whetstone is where its at for me now
Yeah, all 18s is 2496
he's got a bunch of 16s and 17s over time
and he was telling me hes gunna do 20's.....
sure SBG maybe
Think I will setup with Icon+whetstone for now, till I get a heroic torch
and rumbling ruby for NO/Academy
damn i want a HC Icon so bad
why
helps healers + dps who have icon
icon is only decent if you have dps/healer icon in your group
and nobody in m+ runs those
but it kinda fell through
my group has healer and dps with it
Icon is probably not even good in keys. No one runs it in keys
then its alright i guess
cus im timing better keys in pugs than with my push grp..
but like
icon doesn't go crazy good if you have 5 people equip it in a key does it
weird when trying to do comms during M+ makes me make more mistakes
someone for science some day
and made them do more mistakes as well
You personally don't get more stats if more than a dps and healer have it (in addition to you) I don't think.
But they would need it to get the bonus from you/the healer
pugging seems so much easier at +18
man timers on higher keys are tight, couple wipes and key is basically dead. Been starting to run 18s
depends on dungeon rly
im gonna start refusing any runs below +16
its just a fucking shitshow
In AV it's 0 wipes and deplete. 
my key WAS a 12 o n tuesday, its now a 9 lmao
since u cant mount
i feel ya, was trying to do 11+ on my alts π€£
all i needed was 2 12s on time and i could have crafted some shit
people know 0 tech in 11+
my healer started work again and we're not really syncing on time so been helping guildies and its half pug for the most part. Its driving me insane.
they just W the dungeon and die to every mechanic
but instead i got rode around on a wild god damn goose chase
i have 4x 418 items crafted now π
I did a +15 nokhud an hour ago, this drood, 2100 score, legit walked into the insanely big frontal from the trash at the hills. WALKED INTO IT and died
like, how?
it was bit funny cant lie but still annoying xD
im extremely frustrated with wow now this week
the frontals on birds is stunnable though :/
if you line them up, you can layer AOE stuns
and never have a frontal
it was one left and we were going to next pack and he just walks into it and keeps walking in the cone xD
nice π
someone dropped the fire add in ...... you guessed it....... the middle of the fire......... (boss 2 RLP)
we didn't time
tbh I hate these pulls on the hills. way too much shit on the ground.
so many people dont know to stand on the side on 2nd boss RLP π€£
yea and it clips weirdly with the sides
the fire add goes beside the boss in a clear spot in a spot thats not going to fuck over our movment
if we have to get out
melee gets to it faster, ites not killiing out group by walling us in
if you see its about to happen, casters clumping up? just pre move the boss, like a fuck ton, make boss go out of range and they will move.
works 8/10 times xD
thoughts on ruby whelp shell if fully trained?
i don't want to log in to wow at all any more this weekend and probably not next week as well beside a vault
time to hopefully no implode inside a TJS 19
after that crap
just brush it off and go again bro.
I'm still salty about this mage fucking leaving on a +16 2 chest with 7 minutes left xD
like who fucking does that, even if its drama in the group
or last boss spamming lightning bolts under your feet. it's alright when melee, but goddamn it's awful when I'm playing ranged.
he only does that during the adds doesnt he?
or am i remembering wrong
been a while since i been in nokhud tbh
nah phase 2 I think
ye, its p2
can someone link me their cos route from a +16 or higher?
i wanna see what everyone else is doing for pulls
I just press W in cos lol
same, thats why i wanna get some different input
yeh, that comes down to toys etc
but what about until first boss. Its harbor default?
i just wanna see someone mdt xD
did you get stone yet? @craggy pilot
60 runs is all it took π΄
ez π
first run nbd
That looks like 59 runs to me 
you got a 408 first run? π
It was like a 392 or something, I upgraded it a bit
i spent all mine on hoof and whetstone, then got grief in vault π¦
idk i kinda like the idea of having a buff trinket and a dmg trinket, but 2min CD doesnt line up with ANYTHING for warrior
kinda sadge
maybe puzzle box is the play π€£
lines up with every 2nd Dragon Roar in both spec
2 second cast while tanking 17 mobs 
hopefully you can block during π€£
welp, all the DPS died to beam in TJS boss one, then left the key
Solving rubix cube while blocking and parrying attacks
just do puzzle box 2s cast while boss is casting 2.X second cast .... DUUHHHHH 5head 6head
and they call warriors dumb
all normal in a day of M+
Haven't really noticed it being an issue, was actual issue with storm trinket, that 10 sec root xD
ohh, cast time, nvm.
TBH after playing all of SL
the Dathea trinket seems sick though
I have over 100 points in phial mastery and I lose money buying mats and crafting phials lmao.. fucking scam profession
sounds about right
should have maxed out multicraft bozo
even if you factor in resourcefulness?
multicraft is maxed too
thats how infinity banner, and reprisal was feeling to me, like im trying to also do a rubix cube and a different smaller rubix cube while im trying to do my keystone
should have maxed out multicraft Resourcefullness
Yep
did i dream that they said Valor will be uncapped next week?
Yes
cant find the wowhead post anymore
it was too much going on with the mechanics and positioining.
was 100% sure i saw a post about it π€£
There was a fake blue post going around that said they were
ah ok
would be sick tho
i would be insta 415
there was also some info about CC being 1 week early
and then it wasnt anyway π€
my thoughts is infinite, or double valor at least, should be part way around 1/2 1/3rd way though seasons
Wowhead just interpreted what Blizzard said in a very weird way
like, 1/3rd you get now valor, 2/3rd you get double. weekly cap, 3/3rd you get infinite, next season begins, start over at beginning
Eh, I think valor should be uncapped really early in Dragonflight
valor rn is whack, wtf is 750 per week??
Like, once the race is over, it should be uncapped. Loot drops from M+ suck ass, and we are going to have rotating dungeon pools
should be at least 2k per week
Valor has always been 750/week though. We even got more this time around with the first week being 1500
yeh but thats what, 1 item per week? Thats 16 weeks ignoring wrong choices. thats bit much tbh
Depends on the item
How many people generally get the top 0.1% title in mythics? Is like like 1,000ish? For services that is
3 upgrades on a shield
250-1000 per level
750 valor is 3 shield taps
ohh ye, weps are 1k even lmao
so, you can easily pump shield for cheap
so you can upgrade a weapon and shield one level each week theoretically
idk honestly if Valor was unlimited, i would have full 415 gear now
which also seems kinda op
i just want to take things easy tonight at least, come back at it tomorrow clear head
i'd settle and be content for a middle ground, its the extremes that sucks but I also dont really see an issue with uncapped valor tbfh
im 410 with now 4x 418 from crafting, and spent all my valor on COS ring
still have my 389 Cobalt Assembly ring
i'm only 397 xD
still 393, but i also have 2 sparks and valor cap
Yeah but I mean, you're doing 18-20 keys if that's the case, right
starting to get walled for gear upgradeds
because you need 2400 to upgrade to 415
should be probably doing pure 20s with my gear
but didnt rly push anything to 20 other than SMBG
maybe i push one of these days
π«‘
We did an 18 HoV yesterday. Trash is fuckin brutal in there
true
its not too bad on fort.
We ended up skipping one of the packs of the dudes in the center
i think i need to change up my Fenryr route a bit
and doing sentinels instead
i always do Sentinels π€
i never do sentinels
we generally don't do any sentinels
sentinels are free with movespeed
But they were easier than the pack we were trying to kill
they take forever ye, but quite safe to 3x Sentinels when you have movespeed
unless your 2x mdps
we tried this pack like, idk, 3 times π
unless people stand in the circle π€£
then its literally ZZZZZZZ
you join a group for TJS that's all melee for this week. are you like cool, or are you spooked
Thundercaller + Runecarver is fuckin spicy
its fine
do people kill Wolfs in Fenryr area? they seem quite dangerous
is rumbling ruby any good?
like REALLY fucking dangerous
yes in AOE
we do like 5? I think in our route
ya
and idk what bears do
Yeah you just go fenryr the normal way, and then go back on the right side
Bears have a tank hit and then another tank hit that debuffs armor but with movespeed you just sort of kite them
and they won't do the debuff
I wiped a group pulling the last two wolves into fenryrβ¦
Having a group slow is even better but just the movespeed is enough to make them a joke
i do that all the time π€
and i just sit Dstance until they die
Group was mad because we couldβve timed if not for that
that doesn't fuck the group with jumps and fenryr aoe?
my highest Fort halls is +17 currently though
nah
the wolves get cleaved down slowly
with the boss add wolves
Is it possible to pull the last 2 sentinels up to Main boss area and skip the center hall pack?
doesnt sound like a good idea
since you need to pick up Beer after the Sentinels
ya, that looks more or less correct to me
Yeah I just learned the beer tech the other day
Cool thanks
what is this?
There's no time save between just killing the sentinels where they are vs pulling them up because you can't fight them on the way
And it's annoying
before you run up to the mini kings, you pick up beer
throw it on one of them, talk to the other
one will get attackable, the other gets "aggressive"
walk the attackable to the aggressive one, and they start fighting
so it dies faster
ahh ye, the dps does that for me, just didnt know what they actually did xD
then after it stops, you can talk to it, and fight 2 at the same time
ah i always do it myself
thanks
fucking hate when someone runs ahead and talks before i can get up there
so i lose the buff
I just pull all the bulls in the center- nobody has complained yet.. π
Probably a pain in the ass for melee dps tho
nah
if you just let them do the AOE once
they have long CD
but if you chain stun the AOE
they just keep recasting
which can suck for melee yes
do the stags give exactly 1% when eaten by dragon or is still the mdt 0.37%?
What percent do you need before going up to the escalator?
they give 16% up stairs
You can do that and get a big add while you fight thoses 2 sentinels, been doing that for ever and also in 20/21 works well for a key that is way too close
83.70
https://pastebin.com/guPFCibt this is the route i use, works well but not sure where i can get more time
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
Perfect thx
i started not counting in %
what is the butt pull range for the patroling sentinel between hyrjia and fenryr?
4 what?
It's the more accurate data on how much mobs you need to kill
1 deer in HoV gives 1 count
1 bull gives 5 count
For example
And why is this better?
It's easier to "count"
For making routes
Which isn't super relevant outside of ultra keys
Talk to me like im stupid bro.
And WF keys
Bro I can't go much simpler, keys require a different amount of "enemy forces" aka "count"
Each mob gives a different amount of count
I dont get how keeping track of a unit worth 270 with varying counts for each mob i have to pull.
vs just 100%
just to check in generally what phial you all are using ?
Phial of the Eye in the Storm or Phial of Glacial Fury
cus i dont have to think "is this worth 3.487362%"
i can think in 1-2-4-5-8
normal numbers
not mega comma numbers
On average GF or tepid vers are better
% can be wrong, you need 83.7% before going to kings but looking at count is more accurate
but then I need to know every single mob and their count? Or is there some addon for it?
Mdt takes care of that for you
no, MDT tells you the count
similar to where you see %
It'll display the count on the mobs mouseover info
And it's also listed for every mob in mdt
Its called "forces"?
when you do a couple routes in mdt you will see that it is better to look at count
Everybody says count
Got it.
But the official word is "enemy forces"
main thing is i know what stuff i can replace with other stuff
its super useful for 2nd area COS
because so much varies there
it was a question because i couldnt find "count" xD
ok, i see.
my little cheat sheet for COS π
It's just more accurate and easier to understand the value
and how do I see this while doing a run instead of the %?
I use warpdepelete or w/e its called
Yeah then it displays both % and count
Yes
got it. thanks
that's what I use
see it shows 222/270 count
oh
guys the idol of trampling hooves did 8.5% of my dps on our 1st hc raz kill tonight, just a little more than deep wounds. This trinket is legit now after the buff it got?
I like how i learn something new here every single day. Its both exhausting and fun xD
so now i gotta relearn everything, yay... π
depends a lot on what kind of DPS you did in total
but it does make a lot of sense, just today in AA. I got lost because dps butt pulled and tried to make it up on the fly, was 0.44% off π¦
missed timer with 8 seconds
when counting in %, rounding errors can happen
maybe you didn't make the huge pulls and dps got angry
but in AA theres a lot of trash right outside the boss room

you can just pick % there
Generally i dont because i have monkeys for dps who doesnt know what stun or interupts are xD
How much dps is that 8.5%
Cuz uh.
My bet is that your overall dps isn't that high, if trampling hooves did this fucking much
It should be around 1.5k dps
yeh, i counted it in my head and yelled "we're good, we're good"
but it wasnt xD
From my guesstimate
wdym?
you can see your % before you go last boss?
and just pull 1 more pack?
it was 1.47 million, yes true im offspeccing prot because our main tank was out
I mean dps, not total dmg but yea
inside boss room i turned but everyone screamed "after boss, after boss, it goes faster, dont have to kill whole pack"
1.5mil dps holy shit this guy pumps β€οΈ
yea idk bro
The thing about % is it depends on how much dmg you also deal in comparison right
Thatβs only 8% of his dps
after i changed my route in AA, it feels very simple
So he omega pumps
just need to learn what the adds in front of last boss does
Does the strike twice proc also generate more rage as if it's an auto attack?
Nothing else
can you post the route, I copied one but can't get to 100% before going to last bossi
this is perfect 100.00%
but idk the last packs seem quite dangerous to pull multiples together
Just pull all plants and lust as first pack imo
But regardless @brisk sandal ye it's a solid trinket
but they are rly good count
ahh was a genuine question as to whether the trinket was good or not
i go vex first
i only logged green so no i did not play well xD
Just solid
the patrol before last boss seems so inefficient
Is aight π
ok ty ty
I do that on tyrannical
that's from a 24 with a boomie so not even sure those pulls work without one, have to go to pull 14 and kill the echoknight after boss
Why skip the bridge packs ? They are not all that hard once you have the right cc
not sure, I was trying to include them after changing the route but can't really get the count right then
What embelished items are BIS for Prot warrior?
Heard obviously lariat and frostfire belt
Any
idk i just feel the last boss trash is better than bridge pack
but dunno rly
how do you guys normally sim for mythic+
You don't
bridge pack is kinda hmm, and it forces you to go Vex/Bird after each other
You just follow the simple rule of the stat prio
how do you even walk those with so many skips?
rogue shroud
I donβt skip bridges, take 2 less on pull 6 (at the top), donβt take the bottom left on pull 13 and only the pack in the entrance
You can sim a few 5-10 target Sims to figure out some aoe options
so any of the embelished items are ok? just seen a few people running different stuff like the shield etc.
I donβt like the end packs because of arcane missiles and my melees always dying lol
Yes any embellishment is fine
Belt is only popular because it can proc the fire raid rings
i made belt just because i could
Lariat is popular cuz we all got baited
dont even have fire ring π
we did this on 24 btw
you have 2 rogues?
Lariat is good because it can multi spec easily
same as Frostfire belt
and the Vers wrist is rly good also
i got baited by tinker socket on wrist π€¦
vers proc shield any good?
no, its a meme
how so?
Mouth to mouth propaganda
but whats bad about it? Or what is better so to speak?
literally every discord and every streamer was spewing Lariat π€£
It's not bad
It's not that it's bad,
It's that it's not as good as it was said to be
is kinda better tbh, coz it gives you more vers than lariat
fair enough
i would say, if you dodge the cr wrists somehow, the vers wrist is the best embellishment
i'm crit gang, too
crit is fine, for low keys and raid
I have exactly 704 vers rating xD
what lvl would that be?
+24?
Nah not yet
thx!
and i think there is a crit haste neck in raid as well
crit haste is where its at honestly
900 haste
Like crit/haste is fine until any key level
Aslong as its your max ilvl
Playing well has infinitely more impact than stats
shroud should be back up for both skips unless your key is low and you are zooming through
true, but crit will almost never save you
Neither does vers
Crit's more likely to save you than vers, tbh
How does vers not save you ?
Cuz all the situations where vers is better than crit, is where you need to use CDs to survive
you dont die to melee hits, you die to bleeds and magic
If you don't pop the CD you're dead either way
Makes you not die of certain oneshots
Damn, if only I took 1% less damage, I would've lived this hit π
Ok and with 20% vers ?
So ?
just curious, does the more dps from crit factor into killing shit faster and thus taking less damage? Or is negligible since its only your own dps?
10% is half an external
Crit gives parry
and its perma
Go 1 keylevel higher and all of your "only lived cuz of vers" is gone
Which is a 100% damage reduction on any hit it mitigates
What?
1 key level matters
today is wierd. in COS, I repeatedly get enforcer spawning on top of me, at the same time i am battling the mini-boss (eye guy, and shockwave dude), this previuously never happened before., am i doing something wrong
The absolute use case for vers is "died despite correct play"
... Crit gives parry?
And on dps obv cuz they are infinitely more subject to get 1shot by aoes
with crit you mitigate by parrying hits that wont even hurt you
Not sure what the what's about
yeh, im aware, its been a thing for years, what does it have todo with my question?
#VerseLivesMatter
like who cares on a prot war if you gonna parry a 10k auto attack
What unavoidable magic dmg is there besides very few bosses
It's part of the defensive component, as well as the damage component. It's all in the stat together
That is only on tank
Ever heard about bleeds ?
i dont do high keys like most of you guys, i've just finished my first 20s and i'm sitting comfortably at 2.6k rio, but the only thing that hurts me in keys are either bleeds or magic damage which crit doesn't help
I more meant since crit gives more dps than vers. but maybe was an odd question that sounded worthy to ask in my head, its late xD
I'm not sure what the specific intent behind your question is, Freak, sorry
Both are bosses
sometimes you have to take a hit , and tank something you can avoid so you maximize the dmg of the group
what you say about parry and crit is just stupid
AA, RLP, NO come to mind immediately
and correct play is always the play that maximizes the damage and the quality of the group
not the one that makes you take less damage
Correct play is you guys all not getting hit by things you can avoid, but
thats just maths and theory which is way different that real life
I'm absolutely going by practical use here
you can avoid them by having Evoker π€£
just be dwarf
You can avoid them by not playing the game also
And you use CDs for all of them
sadge, went in LFR and lost all 3 tier piece drops :<
which bleed in NO?
like there is only 1 warrior playing crit right now over vers
Last boss
oh P1
Last boss
when we cant reflect π
taht warrior flops on every mechanic that crit doesnt help
M8
10% DR isn't gonna make you magically survive ebeyrhting
You're putting a bit too much trust into that
Yes vers is good
i was in an AA today, and got no bleed from the Battleaxes, is it just cus my DPS was stunning it? π€
No but will help you
why are you pulling it to the edges tho
But it's not the end all be all solution
crit gangf
10% won't save you from everything, but it'll help you with the things that other stats cant help
i stand still fine with 4% vers π€
every time i die its because misplay, not because of vers
the crit>vers is a personal and selfish play
I've never said that
it works in raid
That crit is better
This is so interesting to me. We have people with experince saying one thing and the math wizard saying one thing. I dont like when the parents fight xD
and content that damage intake is irrelevant
You said vers makes you tank less than cβest
but the math wizard has experience, too, and people are trying to argue points that aren't made
we already know that people with experience doesnt neccesarily mean they are good at the game π€£
Crit *
would rather take 100x10k hits than 1x1000k hit
and that goes in every content of the game
People took your statement of "Vers won't save you" as "It's complete useless in comparison to our GOD AND SAVIOR CRIT"
im not qualified to be in this discussion tbh.
U can do Haste/Mastery in all levels of keys
π€£
Yes
Okay my bad, but that is the feeling I was getting
Vers nerds get real butthurt real fast
You can do that aswell
Yeah idk about you guys but taking 360k instead of 400k is an absolute gamechanger π
U can do Mastery Crit π in all level of keys
Eeeh
ill take mastery crit if it gives me more str, thank you
just do Mastery Mastery
Haste is a huge factor
this is semantics tho isn't it, from what you said if on all the situations where vers is better than crit you'd need to pop cds anyway, it makes vers worse than crit
But am I wrong with what I said
The main argument of that point is, still vers won't save you
It'll help
Yes
warrior will never die to auto attacks, thats just how the class works with block
So you're saying there's a situation where 10% DR from vers will save you and prevent you from needing a CD @wide charm?
then you dont even need vers
I can't say you are objectively wrong or right, but from my personal experience literally the only damage i take is either bleed from random mobs that I can't or won't kite due to boon/other stuff etc. or some magic damage shenanigans
lets do 5 x 25 keys in order to get that 1 rng that you gonna parry the bleed that would kill you
Yes
That's a fucking hot ass take if I've ever seen one
so from my point of view if
stat 1: helps me do more damage but doesn't help me at all with the stuff i have hard time to begin with
stat 2: probably worse on paper but helps me on my weaknesses
i would choose stat 2 wouldn't i?
Yes but in those situations you're not barely scraping by either when you survive
bro Savage Peck in AA does 970k dmg, if you have 10% vers you totally survive that
Like, it's not like you scrape by by 2% hp
on a +25
Idk your healer is overwhelmed, you have basically 10% more hp to live a pack, or a bleed will take maybe 1 more tick to kill you
And you survived a mistake because of vers
That's incredibly unlikely
It helps, but it's not a sole factor you'll survive
Why didn't you use a CD if your healer is overwhelmed?
All im saying is people put too much emphasis on it
That's a gameplay mistake
Itβs in the name, CD
saving CDs for when youre dead, i like it β€οΈ
He's saving them for next dungeon obviously
So you have all your cds up 24/7 ?
i remember running out of cds several times tanking crawth haha
"fuck healer is struggling, guess i needed more Vers, rather than popping my SW"
even with 2x shield wall
What if you just used it
you, uh, rotate your CDs in proper play
Yes crawth is the extreme example
So they're, like, up for when you need them
Magically concept, I know
You misunderstood, he meant its already on cooldown
whats our best gems for lariat?
then, like, you fucked up?
He didnβt try to understand *
Or there wasn't enough DPS?
Extreme examples don't prove something is wrong or right; it just proves the extreme example is extreme.
there are other CDs though
his point was Vers would save you from having to use a CD in some cases
i wasn't giving it as an example for why vers is better, i was trying to tell that you can run out of cds to other people haha
i don't think anyone should gear around crawth anyway
you can, like, demo shout
or D Stance
Or use Healing potions
or IV
or LS
Yes absolutley fair
This discussion has no use outside of extremes cause as said just play mastery crit in keys and youβll be fine
But people are taking the extremes as the status quo and spouting it everywhere
Then why are you guys so fucking hellbent on putting vers on a pedestal if by your own words, it's for niche cases
hmmm still dont know if i should go 418 shield vers proc shield or frostfire belt
I donβt even have high vers, Iβm just not a lunatic saying vers wonβt save you from dying
vers proc shield is not good
I have not seen a single log from any player, regardless of key level, where vers was the single thing that saved them from dying
make the regular shield
So until I see that, it's lunacy to say otherwise
why are you guys so heated, this is a platform to discuss our opinions and experiences isn't it? probably nobody will change their mind, which is fine tbh
how would you even look for that though?
The vers proc is nothing special
Cuz the overall stats arent able to be chosen
Look for when HP got low, track incoming damage abilities from there, and do the math
You're better off with the vers bracers if you want that effect
It's 100% uptime on 1%
@ripe whale
versa shield was my first craft and i regret it a lot
bracers also crit/haste
pvp helm was 2nd and i can't even wear it right now due to tier set
it's not a good life
the superior stat distrub
Anyone else find the overall skill of pugs in keys dramatically lower this season? It honestly feels like a miracle that most of them donβt drown when it rains.
my two choices are going to result in decent Ilvl jumps to. but i think shield with no embelishment would give me more survivability than the belt will even though the belt is a 23 ilvl jump and the shield is a 16 ilvl jump
ye shield is kinda huge
Keys are extremely healer dependant in DF
Much more than in SL and bfa it feels like
just lots of stuff for healer to do now
There's a lot of factors that can go into that feeling, from being a new xpac so there's more players, to keys being with a higher cap so people feel the need to push higher than they did prior, to different dungeon designs/feelings
Which is what makes pugging keys a nightmare in the mid range
Pugging on high end is more tolerable
But still a gamba
The base requirement for healers is higher, which means you have a lot less room for them to carry shitty pugs that stand in everything
Makes keys feel a lot rougher
My biggest issue with pugging has constantly been people managing to pull mobs I didn't even think it was possible to pull
anyone know how much damage the belt does over a key? give or take. i know fangs does only like 1.2% of my damage (66.65mil total it did 1.07mil
im still getting in pugs in the 19-20 level where dps just ripping their stops on pull or just randomly dr the mobs
mobs arent even doign anything, good time to aoe stun
All embellishments are ~1% (400-600)dps
That all makes sense. Itβs just rough going from timing keys over twenty with little issue to groups managing to brick 15s
the duality of pugging
It's a fresh season
People haven't done these keys for 2 full years
S2 won't be any different for pugging
Most average players won't ever learn all mechanics of these keys
The amount of times I have to tell people about mechanics they should actually be dealing with would be instant red-flags if they were trying to apply for dedicated high key push groups
It's still early
All the good players are doing their 20s for vault and log off, or are pushing keys already
at this point in pugs im insta clearing the thundering off someone
Yeah
aint even dealing with the dps running 40 yrds from me
Anyone using Unstable Frostfire Belt?
if it aint last boss of AV that buff is nonexistent to me
What about frostfire belt
Is it worth crafting even though its crit/mast?
If you have access to the fire rings from raid, yes
Otherwise, it's not better or worse than other embellishments
Tribe mentality, pretty common.
It's not an embellishment is it?
Oh, doesn't come up as one when crafting. Still counts as one though? ok
A lot about this crafting system I still don't understand
All crafted items with special procs or effects
Are embellished
The only one that doesn't count as embellishment is the extended food buff
is it through death though?, if food embellishment is, its worth it, longer buff not really, you die, no food buff, RIP
thats 15 seconds alone in a key, 5 for the death, 10 for the food
Yes, it's longer buff and persists through death.
The food embellishment is worth it for keys alone
i think food should be pesists through 3 deaths
Frankly it's not worth it right now though with how ridiculous the price is.
All you need is gold
Food isn't exactly expensive either
Time during a key can be
no, but time wise its extremely expensive
thats also 10 seconds of travel movment speed lost
Worth the 100k for the QoL improvement
I would argue that the time difference between eating food to refresh it and just continuing on without the food buff is probably insignificant.
If it was more affordable, sure, why not
But not paying 100k just so I can have a food buff the whole run
I normally level up cooking, haven't looked at cooking learnding points yet
It was worth a few weeks ago when people didn't know it didn't count as embellishment
When it was only a couple K
But now it's ludicrously expensive
Not worth it
way back in BFA, i would stuff the guild bank full of literal hundreds of stacks of food buffs
God damn it's 100 on yours?
It's 30k on hyjal US
Yeah, it's 100k on my realm
Sorry bud
Or was the last time I looked a couple days ago
Alchemical Flavor Pocket
My only issue with it is I'm out of sparks lol
Did lariat, vers bracers, and 2h for raid
Looks like it should be that price on your realm as well? underminejournal lists it as a commodity which means it's region-wide.
what slot can the food buff go on
I guess the price jumped, last I checked which was last week it was 30k
Guess I'm just wrong
i wonder what about engineer helm
Yeah, it skyrocketed because people realized it was not counting as an embellishment
Tinkers are not embellishments, so probably?
It'll drop eventually. It's just stupid that the only source is the community feast seemingly
where to tank kurog after he has all 4 altar buffs? in middle?
remember; the trend is your friend around the bend until the end, or more loosely, be a bit more bearish since its seems so spikey movement regarding food buff prices if like you wanna make money on it
you will be able to flip it for a time, but it will crash or get flooded eventually once ppl figure out a farm to it
What difficulty? Heroic/norm he should be dead into the 4th or before if dps is high enough
I thought about buying one when it was 10k but I had no idea how crafting even really worked at that point so I didn't bother
Isnβt it locked behind the weekly quest for the feast tho?
i can easily see people leveling up muliple alts and doing cooking on each toon to farm it
to make gold
Yea thatβs true
thats one of the very first things i thought of
That sounds so miserable lol
Why cooking? What does that have to do with it?
you only need 3 things, 4, AH, mailbox, cook fire/trainer
and then its okay, craft 200 fish sticks
doesn't your cooking lvl play a factor in how the tuskar soup is done? you would think at least it would work like that
I don't think so. The quest is just to complete 5 tasks at the feast
Which are given to everyone
oh, so they just have to be alts even and get really lucky
Basically, yeah
Think i paid 3k for it xD
why would you say something so mean π
haha. Lets just say my alts dont have it and won't be getting it either :p
If I start training my ruby whelp, what should I focus on?
Probably the ST nuke
I started spamming COS. Coz... you know u guys got me on whetstone dreams
Having fun?
Are you trying to say you're having whet dreams
see what i did there
no, what did you do?
Nvm Freak, I'll explain when you're older π
whetstone talk all of past week
ouuff, you get points for that one hahah
COS is harder with pugs. its hard to pull off some of the timesaving stunts without talking
there is some addon that spams it pretty good
i dont have it but someone always does
btw fortified the eyeball miniboss is pretty fierce.
anyone know if explosives can be hit with Titanic Throw next week?
If you target them, you can. If you don't, then no.
titanic throw targets 5 random enemies
but it wont target them?
since it isn't AOE
Boo.
So, revenge and thunderclap won't work on explosives?
Correct
Let's throw axes then π
it has a 3 second cd and doesn't work unless you target it, which defeats the talent.
What effect should we use for the dragon ruby shell
i think for m+ the aoe dmg one
ruby whelp shell*
do we take spell block in AV?
How do i update weakauras without them moving positions? Only some of them seem to have the toggle "size and position"
super frustrating having to move and replace for every single freaking wa I update xD
I just failed my 20 cos cause had two brain deads.. insane how many bad people there are even with 2800 io
414 warlock did 58K overall lmao
Thankfully they have the perfect and marvelous you to carry them to victory
how do they even get there? boosts?
Im trying to get my 2400 for upgrades and its just tiny point here, tiny points there. Shouldn't they have learned by now, must be a fair amount of runs to reach that score, no?
whats the most embarrassing thing you've guys done in wow?
Mine has to be changing my burst macro to exclude /use 13 (decrotation, having it on own keybind), didnt find it very useful and switched back...but forgot to add trinket to the burst macro...So been running around, not using grief torch a single freaking time lol... With runs having 10-20 deaths. Imagine the dps loss xD

Thoughts on Rumbling Ruby in keys?
Don't see it talked about much, but the mix of AP and the AoE seem good enough for keys
since fix its pretty strong ye
What was fixed about it?
there is just better trinkets
Bro I suck but running from ghosts into extra mobs, not jumping and dying to lockdown, doing 58K as 414 and not stunning mobs is cringe af for someone at 2800
something about the shockwaves not hitting or triggering, cant remember
ic
Bloodmallet not everything but it seems to sim really well for 5 target patchwerk
You know what's also cringe as fuck.
Do the stacks decay out of combat?
Don't have one but on next M Terros rekill could probably luck into one
warrior has dogwater trinkets; 402 Eranog trink and 415 Hunger of the Pack
Iβve always heard it was pretty top trinket for M+
I've had it in my bags for ages. Just assumed (from all the talk and questions here) that whetstone/grief is king.
but maybe that was before when it was bugged?
would you upgrade blazebinders hoof to replace all-totem
idk if its worth
double on use is z
got 415 whet rnb
Blazebinders feels like a sim trap
Routinely underperforms for me
All Totem is pretty based
Has some defensive value and the haste bonus is something people forget about when calculating its value
Plus passive great for QOL
I know grief plus whetstone is great but I canβt handle the grief cast
On Dungeon Slice it outsims Whetstone
for me
Was testing a few combos of 415 eranog v 415 whetstone v 415 Rumbling Ruby
Im doing 10 sims now. I'll report back
Im testing, hoof, ruby, whetstone, grief, bigtoe
i know bigtoe will be one of them
toes no fun
for a 17av is it better to kill the frogs or kill the packs you wake up that are in stone then do the skip after the 2nd boss
id do the safer route
in a 17 your unlikely to find pugs coordianted enough for the harder pull
or even in a 20
feels like frogs are taking too long to kill this week
Personally I only do my version of the skip route now
entire room and aoe
But 17 depends entirely on how coordinated it is
or stairs +corridor and aoe
Stone guys are a meme on a 17
and you can basically stop them all yourself/survive any that get off
I got pretty different results. I did 3/3, 5/3, 10/3, 5/5, 10/10 targets/minutes. And then with lust and without on all of them.
On the 22 pug earlier, group sucked at doing... well, anything
And piercing shards definitely hurt
Long as its 10 targets, doesn't matter duration, it says ruby and bigtoe
Interesting
if you go down to 5 targets, it varies with some combos,
ruby/whetstone is a common on, get it in like 3 sims
Ruby perform better than expected overall though?
much better, ill start using it for sure
Gives a little bit of AP too
Doesn't do that much for us since we're drowning in IP but
π€·
if its 5 targets, it wants ruby + whetstone. If its 3 targets? it come down to lust, weather it prefers whetstone + hoof or whetstone+ grief
this leads me to believe, fortified weeks? probably want the big push with ruby and bigtoe and on tyr? you want the other combos
or maybe opposite since you pull bigger trash
but yeh xD
should note that bigtoe is only 398 but i've had a 385 bigtoe that shows same results on 10 targets
anyone get a WA/Lua error that you cant press your buttons after dragonriding
what does the error say?
I gotta get it again to go over it, normally I get it in outerworld but today I got it in nokgud
try get buggrabber and bugsack
two addons to investigate lua errors in a nice format
because ruby was overall so strong in every sim, i decided to run a new batch where I locked ruby as one trinket slot. Now all sims shows 5 target or below, whetstone + ruby. 10 targets and above? ruby + bigtoe
lust doesnt change results/combos anymore.
how much do people charge for insights
ty, I ll give it a try
maybe 50k?
looking for the highest dps spec i can get for prot warr any suggestions?

Never overloading another titan-forged node until they patch it
3 of 3 nodes I've been teleported not only to a node I've already mined
BUT IT WAS THE SAME NODE I WAS AT
Define successful
took me to a different location with one or more other nodes
Titan overload is bait. Just do hardened and fire since they get you extra resources
but i mean, even just clicking the overload gives you a decent amount of Order so it's not too bad even if the teleport fails
Titan teleport just feels bad
is there some trick to deal with the adds on the 2nd floor of RLP? i.e. Fire elemental's inferno skill
in higher keys 17+ and higher
what's the plater mod called that shows enemies' cd for like dark claw?
interrupt as many cinderbolts as the group can, after they cast burning ambition stun and murder them, purge dancers when they're dying. basically keep everything you can under control since the healer already has a full time job with the elemental
Is the ruby welp trinket bad?
2nd and 3"rd i guess
ive been using decoration + icon, but wasnt sure if wetstone was better
All totem of master is master piece in my opinion
He is doing around 5-6%dps for me, consider this is tank trinket which great buffs
yea i dont have alltotem yet
whispering incarnate icon
Icons are So similar
they look similar yea
So i think 1st and 2nd
totem + windscar.
what level of keys you running
Decoration and whetstone
Is All-totem of the master from Kurog any good?
For keys it is
7 runs of COS no whetstone
i have my 418 lariat and 415 frostfire belt. what should i craft next ?
Unless you have a very weak slot, nothing really.
I'm up to ~20-25 w/o a whetstone
Weapon or shield
405 wep and my shields 411
Then maybe a weapon.
im still using assembly ring
yeah like 3-4% ov
Honestly, though?
I'd sell my sparks.
Lots of craftsmen can't get near cap and don't want to spend their sparks making junk gear just to upgrade.
This might be a dumb question, but in the spell reflect spreadsheet does "Blockable with Spell Block" mean that it can have its dmg reduced with Spell Reflect? Or does it mean it dodges the whole spell?
Gotta read the entire spreadsheet.
Also helps to read talents.
We have a talent called Spell Block.
It lets us block - as in Shield Block - spells.
We normally cannot.
I was looking for a spell like that, but i cant find it haha
It's an extra defensive we can employ versus damage that could otherwise be fatal, but it's pretty niche so it's used selectively. Usually we use it for massive (and I mean MASSIVE) magical damage that we otherwise lack ready answers to or is frequent enough that we need another CD in the rotation.
what safety component do i want on the res bracers if im already an engineer?
since i dont need the malfunction one
It's on the same node as Tough as Nails iirc.
R e a d y o u r t a l e n t s
For which dung are you taking shield blocka?
whats everyone thinking best buff for ruby trink for prot warrior is?
The worst habit you can have is just copy-pasting builds without knowing them. Take the time to place each node in a build and READ what each node does so you can get an idea of how it all fits together.
Im going for it on totjs and burials ground
Giving someone a finished puzzle doesn't teach them how to complete the puzzle.
Putting together the puzzle does.
I haven't needed it on SBG, but I've only done an 18 tyr
And an 18 Fort
Temple and rlp are good candidates
I can see AV. Obnoxious amounts of magic.
I loved finding out that Searing Blows is a bleed π
Wow So we can go on tyranical week for that talent which is removing bleeda?
